Low Tide

Verse 1

Fingerpicked guitar and low voice

Twice a day the sea forgetsThe road out to the islandWe walk it barefoot in the sandYour hand cold in my coat pocketRacing a clock of water

Pre-Chorus

We only get the hours it givesAnd the water always wants them back

Chorus

Meet me at low tideThe sea lends us a roadFor an hour you are mineMeet me at low tide

Verse 2

The island has one crooked treeWe carved nothing into itSome things are better left unmarkedLike us, my love

Pre-Chorus

We only get the hours it givesAnd the water always wants them back

Chorus

Upright bass and slide guitar enter

Meet me at low tideThe sea lends us a roadFor an hour you are mineMeet me at low tide

Bridge

Soft breathy falsetto, close and quiet

Let it rise around our anklesLet it take the road tonight

Final Chorus

The band swells, warm and full

Meet me at low tideThe sea lends us a roadFor an hour you are mineMeet me at low tideMeet me at low tideThe sea lends us a roadFor an age you are mineMeet me at low tide
